#14887

Hi everyone,

Nic, thanks for your advice but Im afraid my visiting stray has a bigger IQ than me and a better contraughtioist than Hudeeni!!!! tried what you said and still its getting at the food, I have come to the conclusion this is not just some ones cat out for a stroll its a starving stray and will do anything to get at some food. I have caught sight of it during the day and it seems fit enough but its unkempt and very scruffy looking, matted fur etc.
I have even tried narrowing down the corridors either side of the bricks inside the box to just above 4 inch just enough for the hedgehogs to get through but still the cat manages to get in and back out even with 3 tight 90 degree corners to navigate!
But, the news is that I do not know if the hogs are aware of this but they seem to be coming more regular and more often earlier in the night than the cat so there is still plenty of food around!! Therefore they are getting the food before the cat gets here. 4 visits last night and food almost gone before the cat got in there.
Thanks for your help though and I think this will become a constant battle but one Im sure with help form us all the hedgehogs will champion!
